# The 1709 hard winter and famine again kill while the Spanish-succession war continues as a dated subsistence crisis

Date: 1709

## The fact

In 1709 a hard winter and famine again killed while the succession war continued. The instrument is that second wartime subsistence crisis under Louis XIV, not the 1693 row as a copy. Louis XIV of France's documented role is: Again he did not author frost. Again war finance is the royal coefficient. Desmarets and intendants sit in the fisc. Medium confidence on unique deaths.

## Context

Desmarets is a named finance minister of the late reign. Sharing the fisc with him is required. The setting of The 1709 hard winter and famine again kill while the Spanish-succession war continues as a dated subsistence crisis is the public file around 1709-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver health-system-capacity is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.
